After finally getting all the logins fixed as mentioned in the previous post, it turned out that now two of my four blogs would not allow us to post to them (ironically this one that I posted to saying I’d fixed everything did!). Whenever we clicked on Save or Publish all that would happen is that we’d get dumped to the homepage. It would however save a copy in the Drafts folder. Sensing that this was a PHP issue and not a MySQL issue, and that there may be weeks of tinkering and fixing in my future, I decided that a WordPress upgrade might be the best way to fix it.
I went and got the latest WordPress 2.8 and uploaded the files to my server in the folder for the first blog. I ran the upgrade script and everything seemed fine. I was greated with the new styled login page and then got to the dashboard without a hickup. I then found my post in the Drafts folder, hit publish and it informed me that it had been published – nice!
However, when I went to the site to view the post, all I got was the Blank Screen of Death as it’s known. I bit of tinkering showed me that the PHP files were working fine – it just didn’t want to output anything. After a bit of playing around in the admin bit I finally clicked on the Themes and was presented with a message saying my theme was broken.
I loaded up the default theme and now everything works fine! Now I can just tinker with the new version and then find a theme that isn’t so boring…
[Note: I've since changed the theme so no offence to the person who designed this one]
